About Tamara
Tamara Folaron is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also focuses on body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, eating and food-related concerns, and issues related to veterans and the armed forces.
Tamara uses practical, evidence-based techniques in sessions. She addresses both conscious thoughts and underlying patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions include clear skills people can use between meetings, and techniques that attend to the body as well as the mind.
Her approach combines cognitive strategies with mind-body work. That can mean learning new ways to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts, practicing acceptance of difficult feelings, and using breathing or movement to reduce physical tension. She aims to help people make steady changes that fit everyday life.
Tamara frames progress as step-by-step work. She helps people build coping tools, manage stress, and rebuild confidence after setbacks. For caregivers and those managing long-term health conditions, she focuses on practical strategies to reduce overwhelm and restore routine functioning.

BHow sessions work
How Tamara Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online
Tamara often blends cognitive-based methods with mind-body approaches. Cognitive techniques focus on identifying and changing thought patterns that increase anxiety and low mood. These methods teach clear steps for shifting thinking and for practicing new behaviors between sessions.She also uses acceptance-oriented methods that help people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck in them. Those techniques can be useful for coping with chronic pain, caregiver stress, and life transitions by reducing struggle and increasing practical action toward values and goals.
Finding the right method is a collaborative process. Tamara will work with each person to try approaches and see what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments are made over time so sessions match what is helpful in day-to-day life.
